Longoria Parker 'to open second restaurant'

The Desperate Housewives star first teamed up with celebrity chef Todd English in March of 2008 to open the Los Angeles-based eatery. She revealed that she plans to open the second venue in Nevada on New Year's Eve 2010, while she will host an event for the grand opening.

She told People: "Vegas has the most energy in the world. It's a foodie city, which is great for us because of our menu. Everything we offer is pretty unique. Nobody in Vegas has anything similar."

The 34-year-old actress also said that the restaurant is still under construction for the new locale. However, the menu that includes flatbreads, guacamole and tortilla soup will remain faithful to her California venture, and a new upstairs lounge called Eve will help distinguish the two facilities.

She added: "I'm a big fan of the art of cuisine. I love to cook and I love to entertain, so I feel like this is just an extension of me."

Parker recently signed a deal to feature a smaller version of the chain called Besitos in a Los Angeles airport.

It was reported in March that she raised £26,400 for a 9/11 charity, in which she offered her waitressing services for an evening.
